Resumen
In this article, the parabolic dense fuzzy set is defined, and its basic arithmetic operations are studied with graphical illustration. The lock set concept is incorporated in a parabolic dense fuzzy set. Then, it is applied to the problems of fishery culture via the modeling of an economic order quantity model. Here, the fingerlings are fed to reach the ideal size to fulfill the customer?s demand. The growth rate of the fingerlings is assumed as a linear function. After the sales of all fish, the pond is cleaned properly for a new cycle. Here, the model is solved in a crisp sense first. Then, we fuzzify the model considering the demand rate as a parabolic dense lock fuzzy number and obtain the result in a fuzzy environment. The main aim of our study was to find the quantity of the ordering items such that the total inventory cost gets a minimum value. Lastly, sensitivity analysis and graphical illustrations were added for better justification of our model.
